VISION-MISSION

The college department of SEMINARIO DE SAN JOSE envisions an

integrated formation program fit for seminarians who are preparing to
become Integrated Human Persons, Christ-Centered Disciples, Apostolic
proclaimers and Contemplative pastors of the Apostolic Vicariates of
Puerto Princesa and Taytay.

In light of its institutional philosophy and objectives and its vision and
mission, the formation program stresses spiritual development, academic
excellence and competence, pastoral formation and involvement, social
responsiveness and Christ-like service. Specifically, it is committed to:

1. Bring seminarians to a greater knowledge and love of, as well

as deeper commitment to, Jesus Christ;

2. Intensify in the seminarians the desire to the priesthood that is

totally committed to a servant-leadership role in the local church;

3. Foster sufficient understanding of, and a deep concern for, the

pastoral needs of the local milieu where the seminary is located;

4. Provide seminarians with a needed academic preparation for

higher theological studies;

5. Inculcate desirable values consistent with, and required of,

candidates for the priesthood; and

6. Train seminarians towards a holistic and integrative spirituality

that is rooted in the personal relationship with Christ and reflective of
a mature outlook, concern for and sense of commitment to people
and the Philippine society as a whole.
